ZIP code 58768

ZIP 58768 is a very small community in McHenry County, North Dakota, with 305 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #232 of 389 ranked by population — larger than 40% of them. The median age here is 37.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in ZIP 58768 earn a median of $81,771 a year, 4.1% above the national figure of $78,538. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 5.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 58768 is valued at $189,300, 37.6% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 82.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 305 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 58768 against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for ZIP 58768 because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.

ZIP 58768 is tabulated inside McHenry County, North Dakota, one of 12 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 389 across North Dakota. This is one of the smallest tabulated ZIP areas in the state, the kind of rural route where a single subdivision or farm cluster accounts for most addresses. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 58768 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 58768 reports a median household income of $81,771, close to the $81,771 county median, and 4% above the $78,594 typical ND ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $189,300, 41% above the county figure and 18% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

North Dakota charges 5% statewide, and local governments overlapping 58768 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 58768 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
